Is a noncompete enforceable if the contractual Court of Law is NY, yet I worked in the CA office?

I was hired to run a CA-based office, and the parent company is HQ'ed in PA. 3 months later, I was laid off without cause (fiscal issues). In exchange for severance, I'm asked to sign a separation agreement w/ Court of Law in NY, and a 2 year non-compete restricting me from soliciting anyone I solicited or had a relationship with during my 3 months (it's that broad). My job is sales: I make a livelihood by soliciting, and due to the nature of my business, 1 company can have numerous sub-brands that I can do business with. Prohibiting my solicitation of even one firm can have a significant impact on my ability to be effective in my next job. Should I require them to omit the non-compete language, and/or change the Court of Law to CA, or sign as is, since it may not enforceable?
